What was that?

As you may or may not recall, depending on whether or not you read this bloggy very often, the name of my high school clique was called the Hive, named for our stinging attitudes, our penchant for swarming, and our yellow and black unitards. Anyway, last weekend, while I was out at a bar with my friend Mike, we were talking about our cliques and he confessed that he gave his middle school clique the most amazing name.


This incredibly elite, uber-sophisticated, ultra-snobby crew consisted of two 'mos and one very small asian girl. Being a 6th grade honor student, Mike's brain was restless as he combed the dictionary for the perfect word to truly capture what it meant to be in such a top drawer crowd. But alas, the dictionary was empty of such names...for the dictionary was a soulless, classless tomb of useless lexica. Mike panicked, he threw up multiple times during social studies, and was found shaking and fetal underneath the big kids water fountain. WHAT WOULD HIS GROUP BE CALLED???

It was not until the greatest movie of all of 1992 came out that he would find his inspiration. A movie about a magical rainforest. A movie with magical fairy characters like Crysta, Pips and the Beetle Boys. And there it was...Mike called his clique "Ferngully." Never has a name been more menacingly pretentious than that. Mike continued on to magnet high school and to Ivy League college, but would never forget the day when he first became a fairy.


Please tell me the names of any of your high school/middle school cliques!

UPDATE: The small Asian girl in Ferngully, was named Tri Ho. Amaze!
